Egyptian state media has reported ‘significant progress’ towards a Gaza truce between Hamas mediators, Qatar and the US. They’ve been holding talks in Cairo in the hope of securing a truce in the five-month war between Israel and Hamas, which is seen as a terrorist organization by several nations. US officials have said Israel has broadly approved a deal.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Kamala Harris has called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, for at least the next six weeks. Her comments are the strongest by a US administration official on Israel since the war started. Harris is hosting Benny Gantz on Monday, a member of Israel’s wartime Cabinet and a political rival of president Benjamin Netanyahu. Gantz will also be meeting with other senior US officials.
